Little does Alisa know she's being hugged by DAIKON MAN!
That's one of the many uses for this interesting vegetable. Although I'm not quite sure what else to do with one. Any ideas?

Craving Sprouts - Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts! I crave them like no other this time of year. Do you have a favorite way to serve them?

We usually cut them in half and steam them in our steaming basket. Then dip those suckers in lemon butter. (Lemon butter great is for artichokes as well.)
2 containers for $4 at the market!

For the Weekend- Plants
Thanks to El Nino, we're enjoying a sunny and mild winter. There's no excuse on the weekend to sit inside and complain about your yard. Get out there and get it done! We bought a house last June, so this is our first year to really get our landscaping in order. This will involve some new flower beds, and a huge herb garden in our back yard.
I'm a brand new gardener, so I need some tips. Which flowers are hard to kill, and which herbs are hardy and easy to grow. And oh, have you seen this new Topsy Turvy strawberry pot-thing?

The fruit market already has a great selection of herb starts, seeds, pots and flowers to inspire you. It's March, after all.



Get outside!

Twittering it up
If you have not already noticed the block to the left of the page with real-time Twitter updates, please let me direct your attention to it now.
I'm aware that some of you have no idea what Twitter is. Maybe some of you tried Twitter and it wasn't your thing. But there are a good many people (including myself) who enjoy the real time focus of this service - from our computers, iPhones and Blackberries, and a gazillion other internet connected devices.
For those of you who are Twitter-minded, follow @yakimafruitmkt for real time updates from the market.
New products, great deals, random fruity thoughts... what are you waiting for?
